Big shot: Kyrie Irving scored 17
of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, along with three of his five
rebounds, two of his eight assists, and did not commit a turnover in
the final 12 minutes to lead the Cavaliers to the come-from-behind
win.

Deep freeze: Tayshaun Prince hit
two of his first three shots in the first quarter. He didn't make
another for the rest of the game. Prince, who had scored in
double-figures in nine out of 10 games before Tuesday, was held to
seven points on 2-of-15 shooting.

Uncommon stat lines: Greg Monroe
had a career-high seven assists. Rodney Stuckey had a career-high
two blocked shots. Jonas Jerebko had three tip-ins. The Cavaliers
were 0 of 7 from the floor, with six turnovers, before making their
first field goal of the second quarter. And the Pistons shot 6 of 26
from the floor in the third quarter, yet their lead after that period
remained the same as at halftime, 11 points.

Name that tune: The Pistons
announced that Black Sheep will perform at halftime of the next home
game, Tuesday against Philadelphia. The hip-hop duo of Andres “Dres”
Titus and William “Mista Lawnge” McLean is best known for its
1991 hit “Flavor of the Month.”

Injury update: Charlie
Villanueva (ankle) remains the only injured Piston. Head coach
Lawrence Frank confirmed before the game that Villanueva, who has
played only six minutes this season, is “making improvement” and
has been “very diligent in his rehab.”

Frank-ly speaking: “I thought
they took it from us. You have to give them credit. I don't think
we gifted them the win. I don't think we didn't compete and didn't
play hard. I don't think we gave them the game. I think you have to
give credit to Irving and those guys.”

Next up: 7 p.m. Wednesday at
Toronto (Fox Sports Detroit)
